As per the report, the idol was, as such, installed by the Dalit villagers at that land earlier this week but on Thursday, upper caste villagers objected to its installation, leading to tension between the two groups of villagers.

Eventually, the police removed the idol and put it at the town police station to restore peace in the areas.

“Lord Hanuman has been taken into police custody. The statue will be there until the issue is settled by the court,” the local sub-divisional police official, Hajipur, Raghav Dayal told the media on Sunday.
